STARTUP CONTENT STRATEGY

Startup content strategies

Content of all types can be a competitive edge for many types of startup companies. Google and other search engines are now looking for information gain. This is the concept that you're "feeding" search engines new information that they've never seen before. Historically, this has always been the way that search engines rewarded websites. However, in the age of generative AI, new insights have become more valuable than ever.

Startup SEO FAQs

What makes startup SEO different than other forms of SEO?

Startups are generally going to have newer websites with less trust. According to Google, trust, authority, expertise, and experience are key factors in their ranking algorithm. The question becomes, how do companies do that? The answer is simple, yet sometimes counterintuitive. Startups need to spend time proving to search engines that they're a trusted website.

The way to do that is to produce a variety of informational pages that support "money pages" (like solution or use case pages). These informational pages need to address questions that Users put into Google in an extremely helpful way.

The way to be extremely helpful is to analyze all of the available information on a core subject (that's related to your industry) and answer the question in a better way. That doesn't always mean being comprehensive, often, it means being more clear. And writing and producing content with precision.

Startup SEO can be very different in that in order to compete against highly competitive keywords, you'll need to produce more topical authority in your space than your top competitors.

For more insights on how to perform startup SEO, read our guide right here.

How do you generate leads and free trials for startups using SEO?

In addition to generating large quantities of topical authority, a startup company also needs to speak to highly-specific personas. That's the best way to compete in SERPs (search engine results pages). Take for example, your competitor is targeting the construction industry. That's a very broad space. The opportunity as a startup is to target the smaller segments of personas under the construction industry that also align with your software or startup offering.

That could be construction segments like project management, preventative maintenance, commercial construction, and so much more. Breaking your strategy into larger quantities of "smaller parts," this often leans into Google's BERT and relevance systems, pushing your pages over competitors without the need to generate large quantities of backlinks.

To do this, we need to attack a number of ways that your ideal buyer might be browsing solutions in the buying journey:

-> Branded Searches: A prospect knows who you are and is looking into what you offer.
-> Attention Searches: People who don’t know your solution exists, but have a pain point, "how to sell my life insurance policy for cash"
-> Awareness Searches: People know the solution exists, however, don't know what you exist, "project management tools"
-> Consideration Searches: People know the solution and your brand. So they use modifiers, "project management tool + [your brand]"
-> Conversion Searches: Something like, "basecamp alternatives" or "freshworks alternative"
